ISCC

ISCC EU

ISCC EU is a scheme recognized by the European Commission to demonstrate that the production of biomass, bioliquids, and biofuels meets the sustainability requirements established by the Renewable Energy Directive (RED II). It is mandatory for companies that produce or market biofuels for the European Union market.

    About the standard

    This module assesses criteria for environmental sustainability, traceability, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction, and compliance with no-deforestation zones. It applies to the entire chain: biomass producers, processing plants, logistics operators, exporters, and traders. The system includes mass balances, sustainability declarations, emissions calculations, and annual verification by an accredited entity.

    Benefits

    Certification under the ISCC EU scheme has multiple advantages, including:

    ISCC EU is one of the few certifications recognized by the European Commission under RED II, enabling the export of biomass and biofuels to that regulated market.

    Certification validates that your operation meets legal requirements regarding sustainability, emissions reduction, and traceability, minimizing regulatory or commercial risks.

    The system ensures a clear flow of information from origin to destination, with audits that strengthen credibility and control over the operation.

    And if you need to certify for voluntary markets?

    If, in addition to biofuels, you work with non-energy products (food, plastics, chemicals, recycled materials), you can add ISCC PLUS to your ISCC EU certification. Both schemes share a common structure, but focus on different markets.
